my Art Journal is with me at every time and I want to show you how I created a peacock with paper and a little bit of drawing. I used the Girlie Grunge Art Medium by Donna Salazar to create this page. I got this product to experience with it and had so much fun with it.

My background its a collage of old paper and book pages. I adhere the papers with the Girlie Grunge Art Medium, a gel and decoupage medium.
To create the peacock I used some paper scraps I turned into strips. On these strips I painted some peacock eyes and feathers. Some strips are long, some strips are shorter.

I adhered the stripes like a fan by using the Girlie Grunge Art Medium. To add the tissue paper scraps I applied the medium directly onto the page, otherwise they would be too wonky to adhere.

Then I drew the body of the peacock on a small piece of white paper, cut it out with a scissors and adhered it in the middle of the fan.

I love such pages because it is a combination between drawing and scrapbooking. Instead of adding a painted body you can also add a little photo.

The Girlie Grunge Art Medium is a gel and decoupage medium you can use to adhere collages, to mix it with pigment powders, to add a shimmering gloss to your work and also to make some phototransfers. This is a really versatile art medium you don't want to miss.

this is something what I wanted to do a long long time and finally I did it. I tried to paint and scrapbook on a fabric canvas sheet from CanvasCorpBrandsand created a scrapbooking page with it.

I used this stretched natural canvas from Canvas Corp and I had so much fun to combine two things I like so much: painting and scrapbooking.

For my little painting I used a photo I made at our vacation at the sea. I painted the little scene on a coat of Gesso. I also used a stencil of Tim Holtz for the texture next to it. Then I added my photo, some flowers I cut out from patterned paper and some rub on words.
I love the natural look and I can frame it or leave it in my scrapbooking album. I will create more of it for sure.

Those envelopes are perfect for treasures, little words to keep in mind, letters, findings on your way or at the beach. The Keepsake Envelopes Mixcomes with transparent envelopes in several sizes.
A few months ago we were on vacation at the Bodensee (south of Germany) and I enjoyed to search for pretty shells and little stones. For these things I used the small envelopes.

I just want to show you my latest Art Journal Pages I created in my Midori Art Journal. I love the size of the Art Journal, its not too big, not to small, its perfect for little paintings and for everyday art.

I love to paint faces in this Journal to get more exercise. I also want to start to paint little stories and scenes to let out my fantasy. Perhaps they will be good enough to show you. And I also plan larger paintings on canvas. I hope I will have enough time. We will see. ;-)
